Which action best demonstrates proper PPE compliance when PPE is required by SOP?

• A. Contact a supervisor
• B. Proceed without PPE
• C. Use a substitute PPE
• D. Ignore PPE and continue

Answer: (A)

Following PPE requirements in the SOP means confirming you have and will use the correct protective gear before starting the task. Reaching out to a supervisor is the best action because it ensures you get the right PPE, receive any needed clearance, and can pause work if the equipment isn’t available yet, keeping you and others safely protected and showing you’re following the proper procedure. Options that bypass or ignore PPE, or propose substitutes that may not meet protection standards, put you at risk and violate safety rules.
